Like them, the people came, wearing night clothes, hiding their entire body in the darkness of the alley, almost even the figures were seen. Only a pair of shining eyes appeared in the darkness.

Faced with the doubts of the two, he whispered again: "There is an order above. Give up this assassination, and the target seems to have changed!" As he said that, he glanced at the carriage that had passed by the entrance of the alley, and said decisively, "Go first, then talk about others!" Before he finished speaking, the others had already retreated.

Although the other two were hesitant, they were still extremely obedient to the visitor and immediately retreated quickly with him. But in this retreat, some slight sounds were made in the alley, and their bodies brushed over and scraped off a piece of wall. Although the sound was not loud, they were still clearly transmitted in the quiet night.

However, the light sound was heard by several people in the team ahead. Without any hesitation, a knight guarding the carriage immediately shouted, "Who!" After speaking, he twisted his body and had already snatched the torch from the hand of a guard beside him, and shook his hand and threw it into the alley.

The torch flipped through the air and illuminated the darkness. Before landing, it even illuminated a area deep in the alley, exposing the two men in black who were resolutely retreating to the eyes of many guards. This made them even more nervous, and someone immediately shouted: "There are assassins! Catch the assassins!"

As the roar was heard, dozens of people were already acting decisively, shouting, drawing their swords and raising their guns and chasing them towards the alley. At the same time, the team that was originally just behind the carriage also rushed up and surrounded the vehicle decisively. At the front, Xiao Chengzhi, who was still a little drunk, suddenly became energetic and quickly ordered: "Jia Chuan, take your brother around there and block the exit of the alley for me!"

As a man with ambition who is quite adept at military art and wants to make achievements on the battlefield in the future, Xiao Chengzhi has now developed the habit of automatically mastering the terrain and roads in all directions whenever he goes. Even if he comes here just to have a banquet today, this habit has not changed. Therefore, when he encounters changes, he immediately makes the most correct arrangements.

These guards were all elites among the imperial guards and were used to cooperating with him, so they moved quickly as soon as they got the order and ran wildly. Suddenly, they had already rushed to the back of the alley. At the same time, another group of generals took out their bows and arrows and aimed at the roof above, so as not to be ordered by Xiao Chengzhi, so as to prevent the assassins from escaping from above.

It was not until after everything was arranged that Xiao Chengzhi rode his horse and pressed towards the alley ahead. At this time, the shouts inside suddenly broke, and then there was a sound of fighting, but the soldiers who rushed into the alley had already fought with the assassin.

The two assassins who were obviously half a beat slower didn't expect that these ordinary guards would react so quickly. As soon as they made a mistake, they exposed themselves and wanted to retreat, the government army rushed over quickly and heard the order that someone had already taken their own way back. This made them feel even more nervous. As assassins who killed many people, they had never encountered such a situation.

Because of the panic in their hearts, their movements became even slower, so they ran back for a while. The officials behind them had already approached, and then a few whistles were whistled, and even weapons such as spears were thrown over, forcing them to slow down and dodge. After a few strokes, they were caught up and could only bite their teeth and turn around to resist.

Fortunately, these imperial guards were not good at fighting in narrow and narrow places, and they could not use their spears and other weapons in their hands, and they could not exert their advantage. They blocked the offensive and could not stop them from killing them. Just as they were energetic and intended to retreat, they wanted to escape, and then they heard another sound of hoofs from behind, but the troops surrounding the back had arrived, and they shouted and killed them when they saw this.

The two people who were blocked in the alley were very troubled. After the quick knife was released and the enemy in front of them, they exchanged glances with each other, and bounced up to climb over the wall and walked from above. As a result, as soon as they showed up, the swimmering arrows had already flown decisively. If they hadn't shrunk in time, they would have been shot and killed on the spot.

Now that they couldn't leave, they were shocked, and they could only bite their teeth and try their best. But as soon as they landed, they saw each man and his horse rushing towards him like a whirlwind, and Xiao Chengzhi came in.

He was so angry that he had been so cruel along the way. As long as Li Ling didn't take him to Huguang in vain, he had to cooperate with him to drink and joke with many officials along the way, he was so angry. He finally met an assassin today, so he naturally had to show his skills and take them down with his own hands.

So when he rushed to the two of them, he shouted decisively: "You retreat!" Then the short halberd in his hand pierced out, striking the chest of one of them. It was so fast and powerful that it scared the assassin who had just landed, and screamed in shock. He hurriedly raised his knife to resist, and his body quickly retreated backwards.

The other man's eyes flashed, and he realized that he had the opportunity, so he seized the opportunity when Xiao Chengzhi took full advantage, leaned forward, and rushed to his horse, and stabbed his knife in his hand between his waist and ribs. He could see that this was the leader of the generals, so as long as he could hold him, he could get rid of it.

His abacus was indeed good, but he overestimated himself and underestimated the opponent's strength. Just as he rushed to the side and stabbed him with a knife, Xiao Chengzhi laughed a long time ago. He seemed to have used an old stab, but it suddenly changed from the front stab to the back, and the speed was even higher than the one just now. With a swish, it was as fast as lightning, and the short halberd was recovered. The sharp prick in the back had already rushed straight to the opponent's back. His body twisted at the same time, just to avoid the opponent's attack.

The assassin did not expect that he would have such a reaction. He was just about to change his move and then he was already cold on his back. He was about to dodge, but he was about to dodge, but Xiao Chengzhi had already thrown the stirrup and kicked it out, and hit his waist with a bang. The force was quite strong. At this time, he was so powerful that he was so sad that he was able to stop and could no longer dodge.

The puff sound was accompanied by screams, and blood splashed. The assassin had been injured by the spike and fell down. This was just what happened between the two sides in one encounter. The other assassin had just stopped his retreating figure and stared at Xiao Chengzhi who was not chasing him in surprise.

Seeing his companion fall down by injury, he knew he could not resist, so he could only bit his teeth, turn around suddenly, swing his knife, and kill the intercepted soldiers and generals behind him. But at this time, his heart was already in chaos. Although he fought hard, he was quickly injured in the ground when facing the continuous siege of dozens of elite imperial guards and the attacks behind Xiao Chengzhi who caught up later. He was tied up with his companion and took him to the carriage there.

The fight had already alarmed most of the town, and the officials who had had a banquet with them before rushed over and apologized to "Mr. Li" in front of the carriage, asking him if he was injured and frightened.

The "Master Li" in the car had no intention of blaming them. He just responded casually and sent all the people away, and then took the assassin back to the ship. It was not until he got on the ship that he quickly said, "General Xiao, have you asked about the assassin's origin? Who sent them to assassin to assassin?"

"They refused to confess and were still pretending to be dead there." Xiao Chengzhi said with annoyance. He had asked the two of them on the way here, but they were reluctant to speak.

"This is simple, let our brothers from the Imperial City Department greet them and keep them safe." When they are all their own people, Yang Chen has no need to pretend to be Li Ling, so he suggested with a smile. Torturing and forcing confessions has always been the specialty of the Imperial City Department.

Xiao Chengzhi nodded and then arranged to hand over the person to the Imperial City Department to deal with. Yang Chen showed a hint of worry at this time: "Old Wan, you said we were assassinated shortly after we left the capital, which means that we were staring at us all the time. Will there be any danger on the adult side?"

Wan Shenji hesitated for a moment and comforted him: "It should be nothing. Not many of us here know the whereabouts of the adults, let alone those sluts. Moreover, the adults are protected by brothers such as Mo Yun and Yang Zhen, so safety should not be a problem."

"I hope so. What I'm even more curious now is which party sent the assassin... the prince, Luo Tian Sect, or those guys in Huguang who don't want the adults to find their crimes!" Yang Chen said with a few wry smiles. After careful calculation, he took a lot of enemies from his own family. I don't know whether it was right or wrong for the adults to leave the team in a very indifferent manner.

Just as he was thinking, a few more screams suddenly sounded outside: "Is the person dead? Why is this happening..." But Xiao Chengzhi was asking in panic, which made Yang Chen stunned, and then he remembered that he was still negligent.

...

"So can we confirm that there is no Li Ling in the team?" The man who looked at the subordinate who fled back in a panic and also covered his face slowly said.

"I can't be wrong. Although the situation was urgent at the time, I still paid attention to it. They focused more on our people, rather than protecting the people in the carriage and leaving the danger." This person's observation was indeed detailed enough and he immediately grasped the key point. "I even suspect that the team was really the leader at this time was the general with good martial arts."

"Is Xiao Chengzhi... His identity is indeed quite high. Not only is he an imperial guard general, but he also has the identity of the Prince of Dingxi Hou. In terms of this, Li Ling is above him."

"So do you want to attack him? Although he has good martial arts skills, I am 50% sure if I seize the opportunity and kill him..."

"Is it useful to kill him? What we want is to take the opportunity to kill Li Ling and completely mess up the water! Since Li Ling is indeed not in the imperial envoy, then go find him. He is much easier to kill than being guarded by thousands of people."

"yes!"

"Also, will those two people leak our details when they fall into the hands of the government?"
